“Guard it… Honestly, you can just throw this hideout away. Boss.”

The other villains also nodded in agreement to what Kang Hyun-ah said.

The villains’ hideout was always dangerous.

If information leaks out, heroes can invade at any time, so most villains do not settle in one place but wander around.

It was the same with the Rose Brigade up until now.

However, the narrow-eyed boss presented a number of cases for staying here.

” Normally, I would just throw this place away, but Marlene is still receiving treatment in the underground testing room. It takes time to wake up.”

‘Marlene..?’

This is my first time hearing this name.

I stayed in the hideout for a while and never saw him, and when I went to the test site, Mr. Bugs didn’t even mention it.

“If Marlene is still receiving treatment… we have to protect it. Boss.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s just fight the big heroes!”

As soon as they heard the name Marlene, everyone agreed that they should keep it.

Since I didn’t know who it was, I looked at my sister-in-law and whispered quietly.

“Hey…Executive Yuchina?”

“What is it?”

“Who is Marlene?”

“…Boss’ younger brother.”

“Your boss has a family.”

I understood right away the short and simple words.

As much as the villains followed the boss, they also cared about his younger brother, who was his blood relative.

‘Now I know why I was summoned.’

I immediately realized why I had been summoned.

It seemed like they had called me to protect the boss’s younger sister, Marlene, who was in the basement.

Since they didn’t know who might be a traitor in this organization, it was clear that they appointed me as a bodyguard after showing up with conditions.

Yu Chi-na, an executive who was looking at this situation calmly, opened his mouth.

“Can’t Marlene, who is receiving treatment, be moved? Boss.”

“Still recovering in a huge glass coffin. If the power is cut off, the heart will immediately stop.”

Could it be that the test subject inside the glass tube, whose entire body was covered with a bundle of wires, was the boss’ younger brother?

I didn’t even think about it.

I just thought Mr. Bugs was a test animal, but it turns out he was the boss’ younger brother.

“Boss… I think it’s right to somehow take the test tube and abandon this place. The hero subjugation team is definitely not someone to be taken lightly.”

Sister Ahn Gyeong faced this situation calmly.

No matter how important the boss’s younger brother was, there was still a possibility that if he made a mistake, the Rose Brigade itself could disappear.

“That’s why we held a meeting today. Yuchina and I are no longer the boss of the Rose Brigade as of today.”

“Yes..? boss! What do you mean!”

“The boss quits being the boss!”

“Only those who remain with me remain. Those who don’t want to die with me can leave.”

“Boss…I guess this was the plan from the beginning. The reason I summoned that man was to personally protect Marlene.”

“…”

Yuchina remembered what the boss had said in the past.

This was the boss who always said that he needed a lot of people to help him.

There was a reason why people were hired, even using the Summoner’s Book, which was full of unknown power.

He was a boss who threw everything away just to protect his only family.

“I will stay. Protecting Marlene is no different from protecting the boss.”

“Yes. If the Rose Brigade does not have a boss, the name Rose Brigade has no meaning.”

“I like this place too. We will remain together and fight. Boss.”

“I’m better at stealing, but… I’ll keep an eye on it!”

Everyone looked at Bossman with narrowed eyes and clenched their fists, as if leaving was impossible.

Everyone was overflowing with loyalty and loyalty to their boss.

“…Then it’s decided. Get ready to greet the heroes. Kang Hyun-ah, after the meeting, start supplying weapons.”

“Yes! Boss!”

Everyone looked triumphant and prepared to fight with the heroes.

“Then… I will prepare the operation as best as I can. Boss.”

Of course, even the cool-headed Ahn Kyeong-nim, who was giving the opposite opinion, decided to follow the boss.

It seemed like he was making more ideal judgments than anyone else.

However, everyone seemed determined to protect the hideout for the boss.

The meeting ended like that and one by one they started leaving the conference room to prepare for battle.

“Fighting with heroes… Song, have you ever fought with heroes?”

“Yes. They’re like leeches that keep clinging to you.”

“Clingy? What is so sexy.”

“Not what you think. Wherever we go, they find us.”

“Aha..”

Songi knew exactly what I was misunderstanding.

It seems that Songi knows me as well as I know her.

“I somehow feel closer to Songi.”

“You and me? No.”

“You are resolute. I thought it was a sweet pumpkin.”

“Ugh.. that gag is really hard.”

“Haha. Sorry.”

It seemed difficult for him to even accept my rotten humor.

As I was about to leave the room, I saw Gyeongseonnim’s executive quietly gesticulating.

“Han Song-i and the new recruit.. You too come to work for a while.”

Songi and I headed towards her.

“Yes?”

“What’s going on?”

We looked at Yuchina curiously.

“Under the boss’s instructions, you all have work to do separately.”

“If it needs to be done separately…”

“We have to find the traitor. The boss wanted me to stay here. If you and Hansong, who are summoned newcomers who are sure not to be traitors, use illusions, you will be able to find the traitor.”

“I guess so.”

Sister Ahn Gyeong secretly entrusted a mission to the two of us.

It was a hunt for traitors.

“But… do you believe me? Maybe I’m a traitor?”

Han Song-i was looking at Yu Chi-na and saying that she too had the potential to be a traitor.

Now, no one knows who the traitor is.

“I don’t believe it. One bunch. It’s not like there’s no chance of you being a traitor. But I know very well that the newbie next to me can stop you.”

“Jageun…are you blocking me?”

“Everyone already knows that you guys share the same room at the hideout. On the first night, you said you were going to die at night…”

“Ah..! ah! all right! together! I’ll look for the traitor!”

Han Song-i shouted and strongly accepted Yu Chi-na’s mission.

“Me too! We will do our best to find the traitor!”

“I don’t trust you, but.. please.”

So Songi and I decided to go around the hideout to find the traitor.

“But.. how do we find the traitor..”

“Can’t I use a magic trick that makes me speak honestly?”

“The Rose Brigade has over a hundred members, so it’s hard for me to find them all. And the heroes are approaching… We can’t just look for traitors forever. Because I also have to prepare for combat.”

“Don’t worry about that. I will protect Songi.”

“That’s not what it sounds like! You and I will have to fight while protecting this place, but are you that strong!?”

“I’m not sure because I haven’t met the heroes..”

“Don’t be too sure about topics that are only strong for women.”

“Keuhm..”

As Songi said, it seemed like it would be difficult to find the traitor in a short period of time.

“Then..since it is difficult to recognize all the traitors..let’s search for traitors focusing on the executives and important people below them.”

“That was the correct answer. Let’s do it like that.”

Although we may not be able to identify all of the Rose Brigade members through illusion, we decided to at least carry out the mission focusing on important people.

“First of all…”

“The Bucks executive closest to Marlene will probably be the priority.”

“Okay, let’s go to the test site right now.”

I headed to the testing site with Songi.

-Knock knock knock.

When I saw the transparent glass door, I knocked and Mr. Bugs appeared.

“You guys… why did you come here? Are you ready for battle?”

“We received separate missions. Mr. Bugs.”

“We are checking for traitors under the boss’ instructions.”

Mr. Bugs frowned at our words and looked at me.

“Are you saying I’m a traitor..”

“No. There is a chance that everyone in the hideout is a traitor. Since it is practically impossible to check everyone, I decided to first focus on the key figures of the Rose Brigade.”

“If Mr. Bugs does it first, the other members will gladly undergo the traitor test. It’s about setting an example.”

Songi and I persuaded Bugs as much as we could.

“…I understand.”

Fortunately, she nodded.

“But how to find the traitor?”

“I will use an illusion to make you tell the truth.”

“It’s a sure method..”

“Then, please sit comfortably in the chair. Bugs.”

Bugs followed Songi’s words well.

After sitting down on the chair, Songi began to use a magic trick.

An invisible force covered Bugs’ head and he remained still for a while.

I could see a little bit of sweat forming on Songi’s forehead.

Perhaps because he was an executive, he didn’t seem to be able to use illusions very often.

“I’ll help you.”

I assisted Songi by helping her recover her physical strength with blood magic.

I used the genjutsu with a more relaxed expression than before.

As time passed, Bugs’ eyes became blurry.

“Bugs, have you been under an illusion? If you are tired, please answer.”

“…I got caught.”

Songi and I looked at each other and laughed at Bugs’ answer.

“Success, right?”

“Yeah..I think so.”

Songi casted an illusion and gave a slightly uncertain answer.

“What’s wrong? Song. You look anxious.”

“This is my first time casting an illusion so deeply into the mind of an executive.”

“You recently cast a spell on Kang Hyun-ah, right?”

“That’s just a temporary thing to correct a habit or habit… This is an illusion cast to a very deep place in the mind to find a traitor.”

I wondered if genjutsu had sequential stages.

I’m not sure, but it certainly looked like the genjutsu had been done with difficulty.

“Then shall we check it right away? Can I ask you if you are a traitor?”

“No, the criteria for a traitor are not clear. I think it would be better to look into it another way. For now… Bugs. Have you been in contact with any heroes recently?”

“…I didn’t do it.”

It was Mr. Bugs who immediately answered Songi’s question.

“Like this.”

“Oh..it was confirmed right away. Mr. Bugs was not a traitor.”

“For now, I think so.”

When I asked a question, Bugs answered right away.

“You can ask questions too. Because you can’t be sure of just one thing.”

“Okay. Then..”

Looking at the dazed Bugs, I asked whatever came to mind.

“Have you been close to a hero recently? Mr. Bugs?”

“…No.”

“Yesterday and today, you were only in the laboratory, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then why didn’t you open the door to the laboratory when I came yesterday?”

“…Because I’m scared of you.”

“Yes? Me? Where are you scared?”

“Sex..is hard..I want to stop..”

“This can’t be right..!”

I was shocked.

You don’t want sex with me!

Next to me, Songi also laughed. I guess my face was that surprised.

“Kukkuk… So, you should treat women with respect.”

“I just. We had sex.. but I hated it..”

I thought he always made beautiful women happy, but he wasn’t…

I suddenly became sloppy.

“Sex.. I don’t hate it.. but I do it too much.. It’s hard.”

“Ah..!”

I was so frustrated, but when Bugs said something, my energy came back to life.

“Thank goodness! I thought I was hated by Mr. Bugs.”

“I hate you..”

But again, I bowed my head at Bugs’ hateful words.

“Ugh.. If you give me another chance to have sex.. I will do my best to change my hating feelings.”

“…Then I’ll give it a chance.”

“Really? Thank you, Bugs!”

An opportunity arose.

I tried to approach Bugs at once, but Songi grabbed my arm and made me stop.

“No..! What are you talking about? We’re looking for a traitor now. I’m not here to test your sex!”

“Song.. How can it not be just a little?”

“No!”

“Jebaal.. I will be so sad if I go on like this.”

I asked Songi as much as I could.
